Open source project to develop geopolymer cast stone construction

Geopolymers: Building Blocks of the Future

Geopolymers are fire-resistant, blast-resistant and acid-resistant, and could become the building and construction industry’s materials of the future. Geopolymers are a new group of building materials that has the potential to transform the building products industry.

CSIRO is working with industry partners on developing world-leading applications of this technology that could soon see products on the market.

What are geopolymers? Geopolymers are ceramic-like, inorganic polymers (that is, based on silica not carbon) that are produced at low temperatures.

They are:
Geopolymer technology is just beginning to capture the imagination of the building industry.
– fire-resistant
– blast-resistant
– acid-resistant
